Darius makes his Glasgow panto debut in Snow White

who died suddenly earlier this year only before rehearsals were due to begin, But Darius is something of a seasoned pro these years and in this question with Gill Harvey for stv.tv, (recorded before Kelly's untimely demise) he is looking ahead to taking the leading character in Snow White this year. Well not the leading role; he's not playing Snow White. That's going to be a local girl called Julie Matheson. But he is performing the handsome prince who comes on to deliver her from the enchantments of the foul witch and all that "Mirror, Mirror" stuff. And he's looking ahead to it. As a platinum-selling singer-songwriter, author and actor in his own good he certanly has the core skills. And he has, by his own admission been on a well run. And, as he told stv.tv's Gill Harvey, he has been taking advice from the very best sources.

"I spoke with Tony Bennett this year", he revealed "and I got his advice for this show, The Story of the Big Bands that I`m doing, and I said `what`s the biggest bit of advice you can yield me?` And he said: `just remember, Darius, you`re always there to do the audience`. He said `sing your eye out every sentence you sing.`" Campbell added: "I`ve been very lucky in that I haven`t just had one class or two years, I`ve had people`s livelihood and hopefully I`ve reciprocated in wanting to hold them in unlike ways - as a singer, as a songwriter, as an actor. It`s my tenth year - 2010 has been a very special one." Darius' Prince Charming will be appearing in Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs at the King`s Theatre in Glasgow in December and January.
